The distance might be small to you but it's a big deal for me. Could barely run 500m 3 weeks ago.

I used to have this mentality of you can't get good jobs in Nigeria until I did my internship with Huawei...
I interned in a unit of very brilliant and hardworking guys. One of the Youth Corps members in that team graduated with a 1st class from OAU
Education has taken many people to where they never dreamed
Got a friend that struggled to pay N17k school fees in our final year in 2005/2006, but a very brilliant guy
10 yrs later, by 2015/16, he was opening a N60m house
What happened in those 10 years? Good grade = good job

A co-intern went on to graduate as the Best Graduating Student from UNILAG.
And there was me that wasn't so sure of his 2:1.
I remember the Youth Corper telling me to give it my best shot to graduate with a 2:1.

That OAU first class graduate's work ethic secured him a good job with a commercial bank & an all expenses paid scholarship to Saudi Arabia roughly 1 year after NYSC. He rejected the scholarship to take the job as he was sure he could secure another scholarship later if he wanted

If they don't have a sandbox environment; don't read the docs; you'll be wasting your time
If they don't have an endpoint to query the status of a transaction based on a unique attribute or property; don't bother with the integration... it will end in hot tears

There are women selling baby things at Isale Eko who used that business to train children with some even schooling and/or vacationing overseas
Many of the children see the cash flow in the business then abandon their degrees & join their mothers
I got this from my best man and it got me thinking of my friend whose mum retired from banking and started selling Gele in the market full time. She made all more than her entire banking career’s salary in a short time. Her daughter left banking too to join her and no regrets.

I used to do a 403; but then I realised it informed the user the resource exists.
I now do a 404; the same way Github returns a 404 when you try accessing a private repo you don't have access to.
It's simply security by obscurity

They definitely don't want to tie themselves to that risk because a lot of the virtual accounts are not yet tied to BVN(s).
So deactivating the virtual accounts is just a means of saving themselves from the regulator's wrath when the regulator comes calling as regards to crypto

I would not explain a webhook this way though.
A webhook is a notification. It's just like your Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or other notifications
The only difference is that it's sent to a specific URL that you configure instead of a physical device like your phone or browser
You're in a web developer job interview. 💼
The interviewer asked:
"Can you explain what are webhooks?"
